Poltergeist

By Steve Biodrowski • March 8, 2009

The over-rated ghost story screens as part of the AFI’s 100 Years – 100 Thrills seires. From the Arclight Cinema’s website: “The haunted house genre moves to the suburbs, as a family discovers that the mysterious occurrences in their new tract home-at first amusing bits of mischievous telekinesis, later more terrifying acts of deadly violence-may have something to do with the Native American burial grounds underneath their southern California subdivision. Directed by THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’s Tobe Hooper, but overwhelmingly bearing the stylistic fingerprints of writer/producer Steven Spielberg, POLTERGEIST represents an unholy marriage of family film and intense horror cinema.”
